Commonly available mobile devices are mostly static, flat surfaces, which strongly limit user input and output possibilities to 2D planar interactions, with no sense of tactile feedback or realism. Much recent work, therefore, endeavours to depart from the limited interactions of flat mobile devices by providing shape changing, deformable actuating inputs and outputs, beckoning a new era of interaction possibilities. This workshop invites innovators, product designers and developers from industrial and academic fields including healthcare, gaming and the arts to explore the design space and applications of shape changing mobile devices. Through rapid physical prototyping, we will explore the practical efficacy of using shape changing mobile devices in personal and collaborative environments, and identify key areas of future mobile device design.
The calls for papers is oriented around the workshop goals:
1. To explore the current practices in making deformable devices from the presentation and discussion of the position papers
2. To discuss new perspectives on deformable interfaces, applications and design
3. To get hands-on experience in making deformable designs and prototypes for new applications
4. To explore the design space of shape changing mobile devices, and conceptualize handheld and wearable devices in a small group activity
5. To discuss possible usability and user experience from both an interaction point of view and from the implementation challenges this poses
